Mars marching band finishes up season with family and friends night
Mars Area High School Marching Band musicians showed off a season’s worth of practice for community members at their third annual Family and Friends Night Wednesday evening at the Mars Athletic Complex.
The band performed its 2021-2022 halftime show, “Missing U,” which features the music of Pink Floyd, including the songs “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” “Wish You Were Here” and “Welcome to the Machine.”
“With COVID last year, we were very limited in what we were able to do,” said director Dave Soose. “There have definitely been ups and downs throughout the season, which is typical, but we were able to travel to our full capacity like we’ve done in the past. We were very pleased with how the season turned out.”
